Weight Loss
This is an excellent (in my opinion) testimonial of sorts from a writer who lost 125 lbs in 2015. What's interesting is how he had to take it one day at at time, yet he developed a habit that should last a lifetime similar to NoS.

I thought one of the most salient points was how he didn't let WTH derail him for long. That is one key idea reported, if I remember correctly, on the National Weight Loss Registry site, among other places.
I hope he joins the few who make it to two years and beyond.

Interesting to hear what he was thinking--how easy it is to get in the "rewarding" mindset for doing regular work (today I caught myself wanting to "reward" myself for putting off lunch for an hour while I tried to finish something up! The mindset can be so sneaky and insidious!)
Related to this too: "I was constantly able to convince myself that it was OK to put off taking control of my life for another day."
I felt that way for a long time (or more accurately, felt control really wasn't possible, so why try?)
And this! "Squeezing any possibility of progress out of my schedule was the most exercise I would typically get."
and this: "I’d eat something unhealthy for lunch and then write the rest of the day off and eat something worse for dinner because I had already wasted the day."
Hope he keeps it off and establishes those new healthy habits he wants. I love the simplicity of NoS for setting good habits--I've tried tracking before but don't have that love for it, LOL! (well, it's not too hard if everything is packaged, but if you want to actually MAKE your food, it's a real pain!)
